Notice...*Labour holds nationwide protest today.

THE Nigerian Labour Congress(NLC )will today (Wednesday)hold a

nationwide protest over attempts by the National Assembly to remove the national minimum wage from the exclusive list to the concurrent legislative list.

The protest would start from the Unity Fountain, Abuja, at 7.30 am to the National Assembly complex.

Recall that a bill seeking to remove the negotiation on minimum wage from the exclusive list to the concurrent list passed the second reading in the House of Representatives on February 23.

According to the sponsor, Garba Mohammed (APC Kano), the bill is to allow both the federal and state governments to freely negotiate minimum wage “with their workers in line with our federalism.”
